I read Holes a couple of years ago for school too, wasn't my favourite book to read from what i remember about it but it was alright. I gave up on trying to read Stephen Kings "The Shining" normally i can read a novel in one or two days but i only managed 5 chaters over a week and just couldn't make myself carry on, which is a first for me. So now i have nothing to read, might go to the library later this afternoon and get another lot of books out to read, wouldn't mind reading Little Lord Fauntleroy, Little Princess by Frances Hodgeson Burnett or the secret garden again, Have any of you read either of those books? I love them, amazing writing, and by far beats alot of modern cliche stories today. Right .. off to the library then

"Making Money" by Terry Pratchett. And "Eragon" when I can be bothered. It's getting really boring. |

"For the Relief of Unbearable Urges," by Nathan Englander, "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," by Michael Chabon, the collected stories of Isaac Bashevis Singer, and re-reading my absolute favorite book "Everything is Illuminated," by Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm doing a research paper on magical realism in Jewish fiction and am casting my net very wide  .

well i was reading the secret garden and proceeded to forget it at my friends house the other day, so she took it and read it al and i have to wait to go back and get it, in the mean time, i got out a random lil book today, part of a series i've never heard of called Alex unlimited .. and this book is called split-second sight .. kind of a weird book, took awhile to get moving and then you can tell that the author is male by some of the things he uses to describe the women and what he makes them say o.O .. I finished the whole thing in afew hours though, overall an alright book but not really my cup of Milo (hate tea so there  Lol)

i absolutley love The little princess, but then i absolutley love Little lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden too. I find Sara Crewe's story so intriguing and the story always left me thinking about what happened after the book was over, and imagining different things that would happen. And how Mrs Burnett potrays all of the characters, you can really imagine them and they seem to come alive in your mind. | |

'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon (UK publishers called it Cross Stich though) .. OMG this book is amazing! it's based in 1945 and then way back in 1743 and it is absolutley perfectly written, my stepdad gave it to me to try last night and i really can't put it down! It's the first in what is a series of 7 books so far. The Blurb on the cover: The year is 1945. Clair Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honey-moon--when she innocently touches a boulder in oe of the ancient stone circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach-an "outlander"- in a Scotland torn by war and rading border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743. Hurtled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life..and shatter her heart. For here, James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire...and between two vastly different men in two irreconciliable lives. I'm 335 pages in, so about another 300 pages to go, and I tottaly reccomend this book to everyone. (: |
